ABOUT THE SUMMIT & SHOWCASE

The UNSW Innovation Summit is a major annual event bringing those who are leading strategies, unlocking opportunities and delivering cutting-edge technologies, under one roof.

Our visionary guest speakers will share their knowledge, insights and experiences and provide a unique opportunity to learn best practices as leaders in their field.

We’re proud to introduce to this year’s Summit, speakers from the Industry Growth Centres Government Initiative that enables national action on key issues such as collaboration, commercialisation and international engagement.

The Growth Centres are independent companies, driven by eminent industry leaders. The Growth Centres work to unlock commercial opportunities and drive innovation.

Technology Showcase
